Accidental Damage Cover

Accidents happen outdoors. Add Accidental Damage Cover at checkout and if your hired kit is accidentally damaged, you only pay the first £50 of the repair or replacement cost. If everything comes back fine, there is nothing extra to pay.

Covered: unintentional damage in normal use, such as torn tent fabric, snapped poles or broken pegs, across the tent body, poles, pegs, guylines, footprint and included accessories.

Not covered: theft or loss; damage from neglect, misuse or not following setup and care instructions; use in conditions beyond the product's limits.

It is a waiver of liability, not an insurance policy, and does not cover trip cancellation, injury or third-party damage. Read the full terms.

Security hold

A security hold will automatically be added to your Cart. No charge for this will apply at Checkout.

It allows for the possibility of charges in the future for late return, damage fees or non-return fees in accordance with our Rental Terms & Conditions .
